Description
Set in 1970s California, this engaging novel for teens follows high school senior Jaqui Bravo as she struggles with the emotional and financial ramifications of her father's death in Vietnam.
"The story navigates the journey of a teen who’s forced to take on too much, as well as themes such as gender roles, social inequality, racism, and the rise of the Chicano movement. Frazier highlights elements of California history that are often overlooked, portraying the strength of a community in giving its people a bridge to a better life.
With its honest teenage voice and a gritty realism that evokes what life would have been like for a Mexican American teenager in the California of the 1970s, this novel stands out. An excellent example of historical fiction that teaches and also transports." KIRKUS REVIEW
